Rapper Young Thug ‘doesn’t trust gay men who aren’t open about their sexuality’

Rapper Young Thug has said he doesn’t trust any gay man who isn’t immediately open about his sexuality. 

During an appearance on the Perspektives with Bank podcast, the rapper compared turning a suspect into the police to coming out as gay after first claiming to be straight. 

“Once you rat, or once you turn gay – I don’t have nothing against gay people, there are gay people who work for me – but when I look at you a certain way… if I meet you and you’re gay, it’s OK,” he said.

“If I meet you and you’re portraying that you’re a man and you’re not gay, if I look at you like a man, and we f***ing bitches together and we doing certain s**t, and I look at you in a man light, then I find out you gay, there ain’t really nothing you can say to me… I don’t look at you the same.”

‘Broke the man code’

Those men he later discovered were gay had broken what he called out the “man code”, he went on to say.

This is not the first time Thug has voiced his opinions of LGBTQ+ people. In 2020, he deliberately misgendered Dwyane Wade’s trans daughter.

“All I wanna say to Dwayne’s son is: ‘God don’t make mistakes’, he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “But, hey, live your true self.”

A year earlier, he criticised fellow rapper Lil Nas X for coming out as gay. 

Also, in 2019, he said that he couldn’t possibly be gay because he doesn’t have threesomes. In an interview with REAL 92.3 radio show Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the rapper said: “People judge me, and people say, ‘gay,’ but, n***a at one point, I probably had more h**s than [anyone else]… it’s serious!”

He told the LA radio station: “I’m the straightest man in the world. I hate guys. F**k are you talking about? I’m not even having a threesome with no n***a!”
